Episode 28 recap: Long Zhi takes Jiang Zhan away.
Ye Liu Xi explains that her friend is seriously injured and asks Zhao Guan Shou if he can arrange for the best doctor, Yi Sheng, to come and take a look. Chang Dong believes that Zhao Guan Shou definitely wants to get rid of Ye Liu Xi. Zhao Guan Shou asks why Long Zhi took Jiang Zhan away instead of eliminating him. Long Zhi feels that the time has come to use this card.
Chang Dong's injuries are not severe and he is now fine, but Gao Shen's condition is getting worse. Yi Sheng examines Gao Shen and says that his injuries cannot be treated here, and even if they go to Blackstone City, there may not be a solution. Ding Liu comes to find Ye Liu Xi and can't help but cry. She wants to come out of seclusion immediately so that the large hospital outside the city can treat Gao Shen. Ye Liu Xi quickly comforts Ding Liu and says that they will come out of seclusion now.
Ye Liu Xi and the others set off for Blackstone City, accompanied by the Yu Lin Wei, who state that it is Zhao Guan Shou's order to ensure their safety. Ye Liu Xi and the others do not refuse. Ye Liu Xi asks about Jiang Zhan and wonders if he is not actually dead. The Yu Lin Wei say it's impossible, as surviving after falling into the gold pool is not feasible. Ye Liu Xi doesn't say anything further.
Ye Liu Xi comes to find Zhao Guan Shou, who is talking with Long Zhi. People outside try to stop Ye Liu Xi, but they are unable to do so. Long Zhi and the others move aside. Ye Liu Xi explains that her friend is seriously injured and asks Zhao Guan Shou if he can arrange for the best doctor, Yi Sheng, to come and take a look. Zhao Guan Shou agrees and says he will send the best doctor, Yi Sheng, to examine Gao Shen. Ye Liu Xi leaves first, and Long Zhi and the others come out from inside to continue the conversation that was interrupted earlier.
Zhao Guan Shou asked Long Zhi why he didn't get rid of Jiang Zhan when he took him away. He felt that Jiang Zhan was no longer useful, and they could only completely control Scorpion Eye once Jiang Zhan was truly dead. The head of the Long family was also unhappy and asked if Long Zhi had genuinely fallen for Jiang Zhan. Long Zhi replied that he should know what kind of person he was. Long Zhi mentioned Ye Liu Xi and felt that they should eliminate her completely. Zhao Guan Shou didn't think it was necessary because Ye Liu Xi no longer remembered the past and was completely loyal to them. They could also utilize Ye Liu Xi's ability to enter and leave Heishi City to bring back supplies, which would be useful to them.
The head of the Long family mentioned that it was Zhao Guan Shou who wanted to get rid of Ye Liu Xi before, and now he was the one who wanted to spare her life. Long Zhi mentioned that he still had a trump card and believed it was time to use it. Chang Dong believed that Zhao Guan Shou definitely wanted to eliminate Ye Liu Xi and mentioned the strange things that had happened recently, particularly the significant change in Jiang Zhan's attitude. Chang Dong asked Fei Tang if he had seen any tattoos on Jiang Zhan. Fei Tang replied that Jiang Zhan had a tattoo on his hand that was identical to the one on Ye Liu Xi's hand. It was said that everyone on their side had such tattoos.
Lao Li, a distant relative of the Li family, met Chang Dong and talked about recent events. He had never learned any of Gao Shen's techniques and only realized that what he saw inside the Bogu Yaojia was completely different from what he had seen before. Lao Li mentioned seeing something called "Kui" inside and a proxy called "Daikui" that could alter other people's memories. There was also something called "Tun Kui" that could devour other people's memories. Chang Dong suddenly understood what had happened between Ye Liu Xi and Jiang Zhan.
A He was taken away because of something related to the mine. They said there were questions they needed to ask him. Chang Dong wanted to go with A He, but the people there said that Zhao Guan Shou wanted to talk to Chang Dong alone. Long Zhi mentioned what happened at the time. It was because Ye Liu Xi wanted to forcefully open the Bogu Yaojia that the people from Shancha encountered a sandstorm. It was also Ye Liu Xi who ordered the feeding of Shancha's body to Yan Zhong. Chang Dong stated that he wouldn't just believe whatever Long Zhi said and that he wouldn't become their tool to deal with Ye Liu Xi.
A He is so pitiful. Just like her name suggests, she has no sense of self, only dedication. She exhausts herself time and time again, like crops being harvested, constantly growing stronger, constantly being harvested, and gradually wearing away day by day.
In order to give her a proper identity within the inner city, her parents used their hard-earned money to send her to Yu Lin Wei. It may seem like they found her a stable job that would guarantee her a worry-free life, but in reality, they used their hard-earned money to send their own flesh and blood into a brainwashing organization.
This organization appears to provide you with a shelter but endlessly exploits and brainwashes you.
A He was assigned to the Peace Dove team, a group that doesn't have absolute competitive advantage in terms of strength but is trained to exchange information and act as undercover agents.
In order to transmit messages during missions, they heartlessly cut out A He's tongue and replaced it with a prosthetic tongue.
A He is truly a child with a tragic fate. After being captured with Fei Tang, her tongue was cut once again, and another prosthetic tongue was implanted.
I believe that all of A He's good luck might have been used to meet Fei Tang, this humorous and kind-hearted man who would do anything to treat her well.
It's never too late to encounter love. Let's hope for A He's happiness and also hope that Xie Jie can help her completely break free from the torment of Yu Lin Wei.
In this episode, the mastermind behind the scenes allowing Ye Liu Xi and his group to enter Black Stone Town finally revealed his identity. It turns out he is the formidable leader of the Imperial Guards, the most powerful force in the inner city.
This is no ordinary existence. The Zhao family is not an ordinary force within the inner city but one of the three influential major families.
Originally, when shadow puppetry held a significant position in the inner city's livelihood, the Li family also had a place.
However, with the birth of Ye Liu Xi, the effectiveness of shadow puppetry declined, leading to the diminishing status of the Li family.
Zhao Guan Shou not only controls the power of the Imperial Guards but also manipulates some high-ranking monsters.
It is said that his own martial arts skills are exceptional, making him a formidable fighter. However, he suffered severe injuries during the battle against the scorpion, so he doesn't easily take action now.
Back in the days when Ye Liu Xi was still in the inner city, he intentionally tried to win over Zhao Guan Shou and even personally delivered life-saving elixirs to him.
Leaving aside everything else, just by the fact that Zhao Guan Shou organized several armored vehicles to welcome Ye Liu Xi at the town gate, it's evident that he is a person of status and influence. These armored vehicles, such high-end things, indicate that he possesses considerable control and resources that should not be underestimated.
I believe that Zhao Guan Shou's display at the town gate this time was not purely showing off his wealth but also to establish his dominance and send a message to Xie Jie and her group. It was a way of telling them that he has the strength to contend with them and that they should not act recklessly but strive for cooperation as much as possible.
Now we know that Xie Jie is the leader of the Scorpio organization. She is the boss of Scorpio and can be said to be the one who founded it.
But during the battle between Yu Lin Wei and Scorpio, the power of the Dragon Clan, one of the three major families, also intervened through Fang Shi.
They used powerful techniques, resulting in Ye Liu Xi's devastating defeat.
She had her memories sealed and was even thrown outside the city and hung on a tree. Didn't they say that once you leave the city, you can't return? So, who hung Xie Jie on the tree?
To be honest, I didn't fully understand this part.
I don't know how you guys watch TV dramas, but personally, I'm usually not very serious about it. Watching dramas is just entertainment and relaxation for me. I don't delve too deeply into the plot or look for profound meanings.
I watch them to have fun and unwind. I have to say, Zhao Guan Shou's move of using Scorpio against Scorpio is despicable. He clearly knows the truth but wants to use Xie Jie's hand to put an end to Scorpio, which she once founded.
Putting everything else aside, just considering Zhao Guan Shou's scheming nature, I can't really like him.
However, some people say that Zhao Guan Shou is actually a good person with a strong sense of justice. They believe that he is using all means to maintain stability within the city and that he knows his time may be limited, so he wants to quickly resolve these troublesome matters.
Fei Tang has been controlled by Brother Zhan, acting as his mouthpiece and informing Ye Liu Xi to bring the artifact, the Ram Horn Cup, for exchange.
When it comes to this coveted treasure, Sister Xi didn't even raise an eyebrow.
In her heart, Fei Tang's life is far more important than the Ram Horn Cup.
The item belongs to her in the first place, so whether it's with her or not, it doesn't matter. What is meant to be hers will naturally return to her.
The previous Sister Xi was indifferent, with her mind focused solely on unraveling the mystery of her own identity. But now, things are different. Along the way, Sister Xi has formed deep bonds with Fei Tang, Ding Liu, Gao Shen, and even A He and Lao Ao.
Who wouldn't like someone who would wholeheartedly help when others are in trouble?
Sister Xi is willing to risk her life for them, and they, in turn, will reciprocate in the same manner. The upcoming battle with the Dragon Clan is crucial, and facing the formidable arts of the Dragon Clan, what price will Sister Xi and her team have to pay?
During a gathering where they all sat down to eat, Dong Ge expressed his hope that they wouldn't go their separate ways, conveying the same sentiment. They should stay united as one family, without further harm.
They should come together and naturally go forward together.
The chaos and conflicts within the city have nothing to do with them, but their own people must remain and live well. That is what matters most.
Fighting among peers is common, and harm among people of the same gender is even more prevalent. In reality, I've witnessed countless incidents of girls fighting, pulling hair, biting, kicking, and attacking without any mercy.
When girls fight, they engage in true physical combat to secure victory.
Moreover, out of ten fights, nine of them are likely triggered by men. Seeing Ding Liu applying skincare products for A He is quite heartwarming.
The local environment is harsh, with strong winds and sandstorms.
The girls' skin is affected prematurely by these conditions. At an age when they shouldn't have any skin issues, their complexion becomes dull, wrinkled, and loses its natural radiance.
The condition of Ding Liu's and A He's skin truly differs by a significant margin.
This indirectly reflects the hardships of life within the city and the harshness of the environment.
I hope that girls refrain from fighting and consider whether it's worth it before resorting to violence. Is it because of a lousy man that such misunderstandings arise?
A He is also soft-hearted. If Ding Liu shows her a little kindness, she reveals the earth-shattering things she has done.
It turns out that the Ram Horn Cup had already been taken from Sister Xi's possession and Zhao Guan Shou had arranged for A He to switch the package.
For such classified information, A He chose to confide in Ding Liu. This indicates that in A He's heart, she has already accepted this group of friends.
Ding Liu is indeed an adorable and free-spirited girl. She was initially attracted to Dong Ge and tried to get closer to see if she could have this older man as her partner. However, she quickly realized that Dong Ge and Sister Xi were mutually attracted to each other.
As an outsider, she couldn't intervene. They were good comrades, bound by life and death, so how could she do something as selfish as trying to snatch love away?
A young girl's love comes and goes quickly, and Ding Liu soon let go of Dong Ge.
During the seemingly petty conflicts between Dong Ge and Sister Xi, Ding Liu provided various well-organized analyses to Sister Xi, describing how she perceived Dong Ge.
In reality, Sister Xi understood it all; she just didn't want to deliberately play the role of a savior.
She admired Dong Ge's talent and wisdom and wanted him to fully entrust himself to her, making all the decisions without changing just because she said or did something.
In Fei Tang and A He's relationship, Ding Liu also played the role of an expert in answering questions and clarifying doubts.
When Fei Tang intentionally or unintentionally sought attention in front of A He, displaying his charm as a man, Ding Liu straightforwardly stated that A He treated Fei Tang differently, unlike how she treated others.
This kind of special favor, occurring between a man and a woman, usually indicates love without a doubt.
So, why is it that Ding Liu, who considers herself knowledgeable about love and enjoys igniting sparks between well-matched couples, can't see Gao Shen's love? It seems she is truly blinded by being too involved in the situation.
Finally, I understand why Gao Shen always seems distant and maintains a certain level of detachment. In his mind, Qi Ye entrusted Ding Liu to him. So, in a strict sense, Ding Liu is more than just a girlfriend.
She represents a higher level of responsibility and obligation, something that Gao Shen is willing to risk his life to protect—a woman.
Ding Liu is like a wife to him, even though Gao Shen himself may not fully realize it.
He has deeply rooted feelings for Ding Liu, and he simply knows that he wants to treat her well.
When they eat, he serves her food, afraid that she might get sunburned, using his own body as a shade to protect her from the sun.
In battles and confrontations, Gao Shen always rushes to the forefront, ensuring Ding Liu's safety. During the fight with the Scorpion Man, when Ding Liu was stabbed in the skull by the Scorpion Man's blade, Gao Shen shed tears multiple times.
He was afraid that Ding Liu might not be there anymore before he had the chance to confess his feelings and let her know his intentions.
Some people, through certain habits, develop an emotional attachment that is even stronger than romantic love.
It's not just about possession; it's a complex notion of doing everything possible to treat her well.
In reality, Ding Liu is quite fortunate. However, when it comes to Gao Shen, this big boy, rushing into a relationship or staying together forever cannot be rushed.
It needs to happen gradually.
In the world of Guan Nei, the Zhao family, Qian family, and Long family stand as a triumvirate, each with their own power and abilities.
Currently, it seems that the Qian family specializes in fortune-telling and divination, being able to predict the fate of people and their families within Guan Nei.
The Zhao family oversees the Yu Lin Wei and seems to be akin to warriors, valuing strength. Zhao Guan Shou's martial prowess should be formidable.
The Long family can be likened to mages or sorcerers, known as Fang Shi within Guan Nei.
They are skilled in manipulating elemental forces and possess potent and destructive abilities. What sets them apart is their ability to control and punish demonic beasts.
In the original world of Guan Nei, the power balance among the Zhao, Qian, and Long families was relatively equal. They would collectively study and make decisions on important matters, no matter how big or small.
However, since the recent upheaval, the Long family has become dominant, disregarding the Zhao and Qian families. The once glorious Zhao and Qian families have been reduced to the role of vassals.
It's understandable because the Long family has a ruthless and ambitious leader who spares no effort in expanding their influence, even at the cost of innocent lives.
With the turmoil brewing within Guan Nei, apart from these three factions, there is also Scorpion Eye, who is bound to return under the command of Sister Xi.
Sister Xi must emerge as the ultimate victor.
Sister Xi possesses the demeanor of a ruler, not only excelling in martial prowess but also possessing compassion for the people.
She has a group of friends supporting her cause.
How infatuated is Sister Xi with Dong Ge? She was once a career-driven strong woman, but love has corroded her and she is deeply trapped in it, unable to free herself.
Sister Xi once had ambitions to liberate the Guan Nei world. But now, without putting up a fight, she succumbs to the love that Dong Ge wholeheartedly gives her, and everything else fades away.
It's actually quite a pity for Sister Xi. It's not like you can have both the fish and the bear's paw, but what's wrong with wanting both?
Haven't we all heard that only children make choices while adults want it all? Maybe in the future, Sister Xi will wield her mighty sword and liberate Guan Nei, allowing the shadow puppets to come to life once again, filled with magic.
Thus, Sister Xi becomes the ruler of this Guan Nei world. Yet, she doesn't desire power and lacks the intelligence that matches her strength. So willingly, she entrusts the task of governing Guan Nei to Dong Ge.
What a display of dominance! She doesn't want the kingdom.
If she possesses it, her kingdom belongs to him.
They say love is pure and unrelated to material possessions. Honestly, I am moved by this statement.
Compared to a world of material abundance, I hope that the spiritual realm, brimming with fulfillment, is even better.
May Sister Xi fearlessly ride the waves, accompanied by conscientious companions she has gathered, and conquer this Guan Nei world.
Sister Xi, also known as Qingzhi, is in a very bad mood after cutting down Jiang Zhan. She feels particularly downcast and doesn't understand why she is showing signs of sadness and shedding tears. Subconsciously, she has realized that her relationship with Jiang Zhan is not so simple, at the very least, they are very close friends.
So, after all of this happens, she seeks comfort from Chang Dong. Chang Dong's warm embrace truly provides solace to Qingzhi. He knows how to speak, and the situation at that time was indeed urgent.
Jiang Zhan not only intended to kill Qingzhi but also wouldn't spare Chang Dong and Fei Tang who were present.
Therefore, Qingzhi had no choice but to take action. It was a matter of life and death. Chang Dong embraces Qingzhi, comforting her as if comforting a child, allowing her to seek warmth. I believe this is how every man expresses love for a woman—being so gentle, indulgent, and patiently comforting with soft words.
Doesn't everyone want to be someone's little child, able to be willful and spoiled, showered with endless love? I really hope that after Chang Dong discovers the truth, he won't be conflicted. After all, Qingzhi herself didn't know that her opening of the ancient demon's seal would have such far-reaching consequences.
She didn't know that on the other side of the world, the Shan Cha Nineteen people were also at that location and would be affected.
Therefore, it's crucial to stay rational and not let the fact that Ye Liu Xi has become Ye Qingzhi lead you to part ways just because your names don't match!
They say that this kind of plot is the most gripping, the most captivating. But after watching so many episodes, I really don't want to see two lovers become adversaries.
When Long Zhi reveals the truth to Chang Dong, pointing out that the Shan Cha Nineteen, including Kong Yang's death, were all caused by Qingzhi, who forcibly opened the ancient demon's seal, triggering the sandstorm.
Although Chang Dong is shocked and heartbroken, he doesn't lose his rationality at that moment. He states that he won't take sides based solely on her words.
But even though Chang Dong appears strong in front of the enemy, when he returns to his residence, he has no strength left.
He suffers from recurring nightmares, always dreaming of his former comrades' lack of understanding and questioning, berating him for choosing to help the enemy.
Chang Dong feels immense guilt towards the Shan Cha Nineteen. When faced with their doubts and making decisions again, he can't help but feel conflicted.
On the caravan, Chang Dong tells Ding Liu a story and asks her how she would make a choice if she were in that situation. Ding Liu doesn't pick up on the underlying meaning and straightforwardly states that she couldn't accept it, that she would have to confront the person who caused the death of her friend's beloved.
But Chang Dong overlooks one thing: he doesn't tell Ding Liu that he himself has deeply fallen in love with this person responsible for the incident.
True love is innocent. The person is gone, and the beloved has arrived. Fortunately, Chang Dong still possesses rationality and judgment.
In the end, he doesn't choose to listen to anyone but follows his own heart.
These poor little lovers, they really make people worry. First, Xiaoliu gets her mind messed with, and then Gao Shen is threatened and manipulated by Long Zhi to kill Qingzhi. Qingzhi is invincible within the Pass, the people inside cannot kill her, only those from outside can.
So, after using Jiang Zhan as a backup plan, Long Zhi targets Gao Shen. She uses the parasitic plant on Ding Liu's head to threaten Gao Shen, promising to help cure him but at the cost of going after Qingzhi.
Fortunately, Gao Shen is a rational and honorable person who, until the very last moment, couldn't bring himself to pull the trigger. He pays a painful price too, receiving two fatal cuts to his abdomen from Long Zhi's henchmen.
Afterward, he lies low all the way. This journey has truly tested this young couple in various ways. It's like Qiye spending money to make them suffer, resembling a well-intentioned parent who sends their child to a militarily managed summer camp to experience life, paying money and enduring hardships, only to come back home and desperately praise how great the instructor was.
Just like them, they confidently claim that they can handle Qiye when they return. Qiye loves hearing these fantastical stories and even teaches Dongge and Xijie how to handle any future tasks from Qiye, no matter how high the price, as Qiye has plenty of money.
Ah, these naive children.
If Qiye were to hear this, his beard would practically fly off. The most regrettable thing is that these two haven't confessed and held hands yet. Even the chubby guy has tied the knot, while they are still awkwardly lingering on the path of uncertainty.
Honestly, after watching this drama, whether it's Qingzhi or Long Zhi, I can't bring myself to blame them. Their misfortunes are both caused by their families.
Qingzhi, in her childhood, witnessed her parents being killed by Yan Zhong.
She was then sold to a mine by human traffickers, forced into hard labor. Her family of origin, no matter how you look at it, was suppressed and persecuted by the clan. She took Yan Zhong's life with her own hands and eventually established Scorpion Eye.
Life taught her to fight fire with fire. If she had a peaceful childhood, would she have grown and acted this way?
Long Zhi, on the surface, appears to be a pampered rich girl, but in reality, she was indulged, spoiled, cruel, and ruthless by her family.
It's all the result of the so-called upbringing by the family. The family wants to grow stronger, wants to have successors, so she had to live up to the image of strength. Even the love she desired was obtained through manipulations and spells.
Can't you feel sorry for her?
Rather than saying Qingzhi is tragic, at least she gained friends and a lover. But what does Long Zhi have in the end? Nothing. I reckon she even lost her family in the end, not even obtaining the rights she wanted.
Fine, let's consider it as paying off a debt. Can you say she had a happy childhood? Apart from material superiority, there wasn't much else, I believe.
It's like they say, being poor means having nothing but money. In the end, someone like her can only grow old in loneliness, not knowing where she ultimately went wrong.
Lao Ao is a good person. He doesn't belong to a proper Fang Shi lineage, even though he has read many books and traveled extensively. He's just a branch of the Li family, and the Li family itself is a declining clan.
Over the years of his wanderings, Lao Ao has endured the disdain and contempt of others. Even the proprietress of the Red Flower Tree Inn, Lao Ban Niang, can openly snub him and say that allowing people like him to stay for free is an extraordinary favor.
What inner strength it must take for Lao Ao to maintain such an optimistic and positive attitude. The blow from Heishi Town is the most devastating for him. Despite traveling with Qingzhi and the others, he is blocked outside the museum and ridiculed and mocked by the younger generation of the Long family in Qingshi Town, with their words being particularly harsh.
After experiencing all of this, he couldn't help but be moved. In his conversation with Chang Dong, he reveals his desire to live the rest of his life in a different way.
Lao Ao may not have many skills, but he has two magical big roosters, and he is quite knowledgeable, well-versed in the affairs of the region.
He understands so many beasts and the systems within the region. In the escape from the region with Chang Dong and the others, he must have played a crucial role.
Although there is some inherent conflict between Qingzhi and their shadow puppetry, there must be other ways to resolve it in the end.
It shouldn't be that only Qingzhi dies and the shadow puppets have no other path to take.
Long Zhi summoned Zhao Guan Shou to bring Chang Dong, and through a series of back-and-forth conversations, the truth behind the whole incident was finally revealed.
It turns out that all of this was a conspiracy by several major families to conquer the prophecy and secure their own family's dominant position within the region.
Qingzhi and Jiang Zhan were both undercover agents for Long Zhi, and they betrayed them. Scorpion Eye was actually founded by Qingzhi, and she and Jiang Zhan used the guidance left by Jin Ye and Wang Dong to leave the Golden Mine and establish Scorpion Eye.
Qingzhi wanted to lead the people within the region to break free and experience life outside. She traveled between the inside and outside of the region, witnessed the wider world, and longed for a life outside the region.
She was also well aware of the oppression imposed on the impoverished masses within the region by the major families.
To achieve her goal, she needed to obtain two Yellow Ram Cups to open the ancient Gu Yao structure.
Due to her attempt to open it with only one cup, it caused unrest and led to the tragic fate of Chang Dong and the other 19 members of the Camellia Mountain group outside the region.
So, it can also be said that due to Qingzhi's actions, she was destined to become a tragedy.
Long Zhi's words were not wrong. Chang Dong's lifelong tragedy, whether it be the loss of his loved ones or his own demise, was all caused by Qingzhi.
Even the three additional years of life that he was granted were lived in sorrow, and his remaining years were spent helping Qingzhi escape from the pursuit and exploitation of their own family.
This love is too agonizing, too heart-wrenching. Qingzhi is not one to hold back, and for Chang Dong, she will undoubtedly give her all, so... it's so distressing.
Zhen Sihai truly lives up to being the mascot of the West Gate. In the battle at the golden mine, it played a crucial role. If it weren't for Fei Tang throwing Zhen Sihai away at the critical moment, capturing Jiang Zhan's attention, Qingzhi wouldn't have had that moment to catch her breath and swiftly sever Jiang Zhan's arm.
But it's fortunate that Fei Tang made that move. I imagine Jiang Zhan would be grateful to him. Otherwise, he would have truly killed his beloved, and the pain that would bring is unimaginable.
Zhen Sihai was destined to be an extraordinary rooster.
It made a late entrance but gained fame earlier than its senior, Zhen Shanhe. Zhen Shanhe, having spent a long time with Old Ao, inevitably developed the bad habits of being lazy and complacent, waiting for death. However, Zhen Sihai is different.
It had a late start, having experienced the life-or-death ordeal of avian influenza. It is a creature that refuses to be ordinary and seeks excitement.
After its achievements in the golden mine, I often hear Old Ao lecturing it to be more humble.
It seems that whether it's humans or roosters, once they have accomplished something, they tend to become conceited.
A drama that brings a rooster into the mix in such a magical way is truly interesting. Not only that, Zhen Sihai also resolved the crisis posed by the parasitic plant on Xiao Liutou.
This is something that nobody knows, and its contribution remains buried.
I wonder if Zhen Shanhe feels envy and jealousy towards Zhen Sihai due to its significant role. Zhen Shanhe and Zhen Sihai, it's like the first and second halves of Old Ao's life.
In Blackstone Town, Old Ao endured mockery, exclusion, and cold gazes. In the upcoming journey, he will surely shine brightly as well.
Xi Sister is powerful, yet she is not blessed. Xi Sister is lonely, but fortunately, she has the considerate Dong Brother by her side.
When Xi Sister was born, she carried a curse, which made her deeply sigh about the development of the inner world.
The family prophecy stated that Xi Sister's existence would impact the stability and peace of the entire inner world.
She can freely move in and out of the inner and outer worlds without being affected by the bloodshed caused by leaving the inner world.
She is also the successor of the previous uprising.
By deciphering the conditions of the people and events in the inner world, Xi Sister reveals her rebellious nature.
The ordinary people in the inner world do not live happily, as absolute power is held by the major families. Throughout history, it has been a case of the victor taking all.
If Xi Sister doesn't stand up for herself and carve out her own place, she will simply be manipulated and arranged.
Although Zhao Guan Shou arranged for Xi Sister to infiltrate and dismantle the Scorpion Eye for the stability of the inner world, I believe that even if she loses her memory, she wouldn't be willing to give up or destroy the organization she built with her own hands.
As for her once innocent relationship with the twins, after the arm was severed, there was no longer a memory seal or infection. Her consciousness will be clear, so Xi Sister's enemies will have one less adversary.
Things always tend to turn for the better. Although the Long family is increasingly reckless in causing destruction, exposing all their conspiracies, Xi Sister is not someone to be underestimated.
Just watch, in the future, Xi Sister's true strength will undoubtedly be unleashed even more.
How wonderful it is, just like a family, strolling, laughing, and chatting in this small town within the pass.
Fei Tang discovered his love for money as he unexpectedly found valuable antiques that caught his eye while browsing through the antique shop.
If he could take them outside the pass, he would never have to worry about his livelihood for the rest of his life.
The five of them took a group photo together at the photo studio, looking happy and content. This unrelated group of people has become bound together, their lives intertwined through numerous life-and-death situations, forging a bond of comradeship.
How beautiful it is! As I watch them appear in the frame, smiling so sweetly, the world feels even more wonderful. The only regret is that they took several photos of all five of them together. Why didn't they take a separate photo of Brother Dong and Sister Xi?
It would have been such a warm memento to keep in their wallets.
What's rare and precious is that Sister Xi and Brother Dong had their first proper date here.
If things could always be this wonderful and amazing, wouldn't it be great for this group of people to settle down together within the pass?
But fate doesn't always comply with our wishes. Chang Dong's judgment was accurate and precise. I wonder what tricks Zhao Guan Shou has up his sleeve. On the first day, he took them to the museum, flooding their minds with memories of the past, naturally creating pressure.
The next day, he arranged things so leisurely, perhaps to lower their guard and prepare for the next step.
Should I say it or not, Old Ao is starting to feel a bit pitiful. He can't afford the pastries he desires and is ridiculed by the brats from other families.
Gao Shen, oh, what a boy with hidden depth. I don't believe he can't see Ding Liu's feelings for him, but why does he seem less interested when Ding Liu shows interest in Brother Dong? He just quietly retorted, saying that one can't be good at everything.
Brother Dong said that Gao Shen already considers Ding Liu as his wife, the one he is willing to protect with his life.
In my opinion, it's more about respect. Although Seventh Master designated and agreed to their marriage, Gao Shen also respects Ding Liu's opinion, which is why he neither takes the initiative nor neglects her.
With both of them being so considerate towards each other, when will we, the audience, get to see a perfect union?
It's truly making people anxious. Gao Shen's attention to Ding Liu is heartfelt. He knows that girls love beauty, and she cares about her identity as a bald little treasure, so Gao Shen bought the hairpin that Ding Liu liked at first sight.
This time, he took a daring step and proactively gave it to her. Unexpectedly, there were some unexpected twists and turns. At Ye Liu Xi's plea, Brother Dong agreed to assist.
But the result of this assistance turned out to be good.
Gao Shen's heartfelt words were to reassure Ding Liu, asking her not to mind anything and assuring her that he wouldn't go against her wishes and would accept the marriage arranged by Seventh Master.
Isn't this making things unnecessarily complicated?
There's no room for reasoning. Even Sister Xi was dumbfounded by this move. Fortunately, young people have time on their side, but I heard that Gao Shen sacrificed himself later on. It's such a pity.
The original Qingzhi wasn't like she is now. The original Sister Xi was free, wild, unrestrained, and mysterious.
She was a ruthless person with means and power. She established Scorpion Eye and was capable of handling matters with great competence.
Her existence and rise posed a threat to the power of the major families.
That's why she attracted the joint assassination of the families. But ever since Qingzhi lost her memory and met Chang Dong, Fei Tang, Ding Liu, and Gao Shen, her personality has changed.
She started to have attachments and gained much tenderness and human touch.
She could seek the protection of the family's power, treat Xiao Liu's injuries, and even arrange a visit to the museum for Old Ao.
Under the subtle influence of everyone, Sister Xi has become more down-to-earth and likable. She persuades Chang Dong to mediate between Ding Liu and Gao Shen. She even wants to find a new voice for A He and encourages Fei Tang and A He to become a couple.
On the other hand, Chang Dong has become cautious and constantly looks over his shoulder. He doesn't recommend getting too close to Zhao Guan Shou and is anxious to arrange for everyone to leave.
Perhaps he knows that his time is limited and he must make sacrifices to protect everyone.
He wants to keep Sister Xi safe and ensure that she can live a happy and secure life. How could Sister Xi bear to leave him behind?
